About This Release
The Rock-afire Explosion was an animatronic band that played in ShowBiz Pizza Place restaurants from 1980 to 1993. The show was pioneering in many respects to other animatronic shows of the early 1980s, featuring life-sized characters capable of facial expression; some were even programmed in such a way that they could actually play simple melodies on musical instruments. They would perform medleys of classic rock, pop, and country music, as well as original compositions. The show was created and manufactured by Aaron Fechter, through his company Creative Engineering in Orlando, Florida. In addition to overseeing the production of the animatronics, Fechter also wrote skits, provided the voices for several characters, and programmed the showtapes. This LP is an unreleased collection of original material from this famous pizza band.
